The standard test

One minute is the most common length for a typing test and the one most results online refer to, so it is the easiest way to compare yourself with others. It is long enough to give a stable number and short enough to repeat several times in a row.

Do three runs and take the average for a fair result. Your best score for this setting is kept in your browser, so you can see your progress over days and weeks.

Getting a better score

Keep your eyes on the text, not on the keyboard, and keep a steady rhythm instead of rushing. Mistakes cost more than slow typing because only correct words count.

Frequently asked questions

Is one minute enough to measure typing speed?

Yes, for a quick and comparable result. Longer tests show how well you keep your speed.

Why is my raw WPM higher than my WPM?

Raw WPM counts every character, including mistakes. WPM only counts correct words.

What does WPM mean?

Words per minute. One word is counted as five characters, including spaces.

Is my result saved?

Your best score per duration and language is kept in your browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Can I use it on a phone?

Yes. Tap the text and type with the phone keyboard.
